Experiment

I feel that my painting style lacks mileage, so I decided to change it up a little and experiment with the background before I painted.


I used cardboard so I could cut out pieces and then replace them elsewhere to give a little relief. It also encouraged me to change direction of the paint, using the lines that were already there was easier I think than creating something completely new. 
I feel this painting was a step forward in regards to being more confident with the materials I use, but I found I enjoyed cutting into the cardboard more than painting on it. I definitely think I need to be experimenting more with materials and sculpture, using paint to support the experiments.
